In the office, Zhang Danfeng brewed a cup of tea and brought it to the two of them.
He looked at his tea leaves with some embarrassment; this was the best tea he could offer, one he usually couldn't bear to drink.
But she was still worried that Xia Enruo would think it was shabby.
"Come, Mr. Xia, have some tea. We don't have any particularly good tea to offer you, please don't mind."
"Dean Zhang, you're too kind. This place truly resembles a university; it brings back so many memories!"
The place exudes a scholarly atmosphere, and even the tea is exceptional, with a more cultured aroma.
This kind of ambiance is truly rare on the market!
"Mr. Xia, you flatter me. I just enjoy reading, so I have a lot of books in my office."
"Director Zhang, my younger sister Shaoying should have already told you the purpose of my visit."
I started a new clothing design company and created a new clothing brand called Diwei.
I would like to collaborate with your esteemed institution and make my location an internship base for your senior fashion design students.
If the students' designs are exceptional, our company will offer them high salaries; the compensation package will definitely not be low.
Seeing Xia Enruo's appearance, Zhang Danfeng dared not underestimate her any longer, and a strange excitement welled up in his heart.
"Boss Xia, as you know, internships for fashion design graduates are usually mainly practical training, but Shao Ying said your company just got its business license last week."
Have you already started designing and making the clothes?
"No. But it's about to be produced."
Zhang Danfeng adjusted his reading glasses and said:
"Mr. Xia, if our company is not yet capable of designing and producing clothing, it may not comply with the school's regulations to send our students there for internships."
Our school's various majors have always collaborated with enterprises or organizations, with the aim of allowing students to develop practical skills on mature production lines or in the workplace.
Your company is just starting out; to put it bluntly, you haven't even started any business yet. You can't just send students there and watch them do nothing!
Even if I agreed, the principal wouldn't approve it.
Xia Enruo, knowing his concerns, explained:
"Dean Zhang, the design major is different from other majors; it relies more on inspiration and creativity."
Without these, you won't learn much even if you work on an assembly line; at most, you'll learn how to operate the machines. This completely goes against the original purpose of the fashion design major.
You are training designers for the domestic garment industry, not front-line workers operating machines in factories.
What China currently lacks is good design and creativity; without its own style, it will eventually be overshadowed by foreign brands.
Although my clothing design company is just starting out, I have the ability to enable your students to mass-produce the clothing designs and sell them on the market.
That's the design patent fee you earn, which is also a good way to promote your school, isn't it?
"That's what everyone says, but Mr. Xia, although you came with quite a grand entrance, I know you're rich."
However, in school-enterprise cooperation, the school will conduct an on-site visit to your company for evaluation.
If your company hasn't even decided on a location yet, I estimate you won't pass this evaluation.
To be honest, I'm also struggling with this. The principal has told me I absolutely must resolve the student internship issue soon, but I also need to ensure both quality and quantity. I certainly can't make a decision lightly.
After listening, Xia Enruo took a sip of tea and continued with a smile:
"I'm afraid my younger sister didn't tell you everything. I have more than one company."
The clothing design company is just a newly established business unit of mine.
"I would like to hear the details."
Zhang Danfeng wanted to find out Xia Enruo's true strength and whether she was worth cooperating with.
"Like Wanjia Supermarket, Kelaixiang Private Kitchen, Heshun Four Seasons Hotel, and Meijiajing Dry Cleaning Shop in Yongning all belong to me."
Also, the street in front of your Normal University is being demolished to build residential buildings, which is also being done by my real estate company.
Isn't that enough? Dean Zhang, let alone your fashion design major, I have the ability to get students from almost half of your school's majors to intern at my company.
Our company's current full-time employees earn more than twice the salary of workers in large state-owned factories. In the future, large state-owned factories will inevitably go bankrupt or be restructured into enterprises.
Zhang Danfeng almost dropped his jaw when he heard that.
My goodness, isn't this the God of Wealth coming?
The industries she mentioned account for half of Yongning City; everyone knows that.
"I never expected Mr. Xia's business to be so large. I really didn't expect that. In that case, I think the principal will definitely agree."
"Dean Zhang, since I, Xia Enruo, have told you, I will definitely keep my word. The students who come to my clothing design company for internships will mainly be involved in clothing design."
For products with excellent designs, I buy out the design patents and directly commission garment factories to produce them, then market them under the Diwei brand.
In the future, students will not only be able to earn money with their intellectual property rights, but if they wish, they can also join our company as designers.
This will not only solve the internship problem, but also help your school expand employment opportunities. Wouldn't it be better for you to recruit more students if employment is good?
This is a win-win situation for both of us, and I think the children will be very happy.
Zhang Danfeng became increasingly excited as she listened. Indeed, as she said, this way, students wouldn't have to apply what they learned immediately, and they could earn money based on their talents during internships.
“Alright, Mr. Xia, since you have thought this through so thoroughly and are so sincere in coming to discuss cooperation in person, I, Zhang, will definitely facilitate our professional school-enterprise cooperation project.”
"If our children can have more good career options, it will solve our biggest worry as a university."
As Xia Enruo emerged from the university, her secretary turned and asked:
